Though the Beo6 will probably make all this talk obsolete. 

Only time will tell

Dario your thinking is really clever! A good idea, even though we all know it won't happen i still love it

thanks mobeyone and dave,

the best thing is, the ipad is nearly the same size like the display of the original beosound 5 system... ;-)

i agree with you, the concept has almost no chance to realize by b&o... unfortunately.

maybe the beosound 5 light will have a demountable display to use it as a portable remote. that would be great. maybe it's the beo 6?!?

cheers

Why must the display be detachable? Leave it as-is... and have a hand held controle device as an option. I'm sure that's what B&O have in mind for the new Beo6-ish device.. 

Many years back, there was actually an interview with the Beosound 5 designer where he explained the concept as a tablet, that people could hold at a cocktail party with one hand and operate and walk around with.

Note that this was supposed to be the Beosound 5, not the 2 way remote some are waiting for.

JK

If I remember correctly.. the designer said that a person should be able to controle the BeoSound 5 it with one hand... holding his drink in the other hand. Holding your drink and operating a tablet with another hand... in my humble opinion not possible.. except when you have 3 hands
